As an American citizen, I was deeply ashamed of our president’s recent disgraceful performance in Helsinki when he embraced the Russian president and completely disregarded our own U. S. intelligence with regard to Moscow’s interference in the 2016 election. In fact, he threw our intelligence community under the bus.

Clearly, President Trump is continuously being played as a “useful idiot” by the Russian government.

It remains to be seen whether Congress will take any action, but I don’t give it much hope. They talk a big game but nothing ever gets done. They are more concerned with poll numbers than they are about upholding an oath they took to protect the Constitution. In my view, Congress along with Trump’s cabinet are all to blame since they are enabling his pathetic performance.

To send the right message, Congress should initiate impeachment proceedings and his cabinet should resign en masse immediately.
